Top 5 Games you would advise someone to play

[Deleted]

As it is clearly stated in the thread title, i would like to know the top 10 games you would advise someone to play this summer .
Atm, i'm playing World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 and Smite, but i would like to insert another game or 2 to the playing list, what would you advise me? (Ps3 or PC)

My 1st post, let's see how this goes

[Wynnyelle]

PC:
Dota 2
The Binding of Isaac
Super Meat Boy
Trine and Trine 2
Bastion

PS3:
Red Dead Redemption
Dark Souls
Dragon's Dogma
Uncharted series
3D Dot Game Heroes

Not all of them are new, but they're all games I'd recommend to people.

PC -
Battlefield 3

PS3 -
MGS HD Collection
Ratchet & Clank HD Collection

That's pretty much what I'm playing atm xD

If you own a PS3 you must play both Demon Souls and Dark Souls.

Also, if you're into playing plat-former games you're best to go get a Nintendo 64 off ebay and buy Mario 64, Banjoo Kazooie, Banjoo Tooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day and Zelda OoC/Majoras Mask. Those 6 games are still better than 99% of games released since in the genre.

Thanks for the feedback guys, checking some of the games you are suggesting

[Caiada]

If you haven't played Bioshock, you need to.

There's also Uncharted, the Ratchet and Clank games (along with the HD collection), and Batman: Arkham City, another legendary game of this generation.

Some of my choices for PS3:
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Fallout 3
Final Fantasy XIII-2
GTA IV + Expansion Episodes From Liberty City
Heavy Rain
Max Payne 3
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 2
Portal 2

PS3 Extra:
If you are into sports NFL Blitz or NFL 2012 and MLB 12: The Show are great games. SSX is also great snowboard game. If you after some soccer Fifa 2012 seems to be a little be superior than PES12 this time. NBA2k12 and NHL2012 for the fans.

UFC Undisputed 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown and SoulCalibur V are great fighting games, especially great and fun when you are owning your friends.

I didn't put any racing games as the only decent game I own is Forza 4 but that's only for Xbox 360.

Mass Effect series
Assassin's Creed series
Bioshock
Batman Arkham games
Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Yeah most of the are a series so it's more than 5 :P But great experiences. Probably all on sale on steam atm also.

Mass Effect Trilogy
Portal (NM, just finished it. LOL I loved the song at the end.)
Skyrim
Half Life 2 and its episodes (perhaps the best FPS I've played. Good story, and also, gravity gun)
Dragon Age: Origins if you're up for a traditional medieval RPG.

I consider Mass Effect and Half Life 2 + episodes to being one game each, as they are both one continuous story. ME2 might be stand alone, but ME3 . . . no way.

[lulzboat]

Baldur's gate 2
Dragon age origins
GTA San Andreas
Sim City

[Grizzly Willy]

Mass Effect Trilogy
Portal (I really need to finish it, but it's such a unique puzzle game)
Skyrim
Half Life 2 and its episodes (perhaps the best FPS I've played. Good story, and also, gravity gun)
Dragon Age: Origins if you're up for a traditional medieval RPG.

I consider Mass Effect and Half Life 2 + episodes to being one game each, as they are both one continuous story. ME2 might be stand alone, but ME3 . . . no way.

Completely agree, although I couldn't stand making a character from scratch in ME2 with some of the critical choices in ME1 being made for me (and not how I wanted). The funny thing is that Bioware touted ME3 as a great jumping in point for people who are new to the series.

[Fantasyover]

Lets see for me I would say Goldeneye 007, Zelda a Link to the Past, Final Fantasy 7 and 9, Star Ocean second story, Borderlands, and Dungeon defnders. That pretty much runs the gambit on type and platform. An emphasis on RPG but hey they are fun and last a while.

I understand that none of these are NEW games but they take time and are extremely fun.

[Lyriok]

League of Legends
Splinter cell
Skyrim
Legend of Grimrock
Dark souls

Stopped console gaming when I was 10 full time PC now.

[minkage]

Conkers Bad Fur Day

[Regalbeast]

Elder Scrolls Series (morrowind, oblivion, skyrim)
battlefield 3
Halo: Reach on xbox live is a lot of fun imo

[Powerogue]

batman: arkham asylum
batman: arkham city
portal 1+2
minecraft

there's your 5. I don't know how many "the entire half life series except maybe the side episode with barny" would count as. I'll also vouch for the ratchet & clank game series. Blowing stuff up with a variety of ridiculous weapons never gets old.

[inboundpaper]

Morrowind
Oblivion
RDR
GTA SA
Halo 1-3.

[panterarules]

Fallout 1
Fallout 2
Baldur's Gate 1
Baldur's Gate 2
Might and Magic 6
Might and Magic 7
Neverwinter Nights
Civilization 4

Sorry mostly like RPGs and there hasn't really been a good one for a long time. I think the best one i've played in recent years is Two Worlds 2, but it's pretty av. The games i listed are highly re-playable though, i booted up Might and Magic 6 recently..still awesome.

[Deleted]

Personal favorites:
Warcraft 3
Skyrim
Serious Sam (first encounter, second encounter and 3, 2 is pretty mediocre)
XIII ("Thirteen")
No One Lives Forever 1+2

The three latter ones are great games (albeit a bit old) that I don't see mentioned too much. I've had great fun playing through them all

World of Warcraft
Mass Effect
Half-Life
Portal
Dragon Age
